Someone already pointed at "steam user behaviour", which is true, people on that platform are gambling addicts or soon to be, which includes trying to justify money bullshit. Symptoms.
The added thing is: the logistics of "hours per dollah" that people started to apply. From Steam. In this kind of nonsensical way.
Then they dump 100 hours on Monster Hunter or something and say "that was good value" but haven't felt shit while playing it and could've just played a pokemon rom instead.
